beast to take the brydle in hys mouth and like a horse to cary a weman vpon his backe What is filthyer than this or of a Philosopher what can be fouler spoken Although ther be some which otherwise expound thys and referre all things to the nature of things which would deliuer him from this infamous reproche vndecent in a Philosopher Demosthenes also the Prince of Oratoures the eloquentest man that euer spoke wyth Greekish tong whose Orations fraught with fleudes of Elequence doe declare the singular granitie of the man and shewe forth his seuere authoritie could not dissemble nor conceale the vice of hys corrupt nature As the receipt of the monie craued by him of the Miletians to holde his peace do manifestly purtray who for the greate sum of money receyued whē he should make his oration against the Miletians cōming to Athens to craue help came forth amōg the people hauing his necke rolled about with wolle and sayd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so that he could not speake against the Miletians then one amongs the people exclamed that it was not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that Demosthenes suffered And Demosthenes himselfe afterwarde concealed it not but for a glory

he had conquered the Persian Prince Darius and other things also which they impute to him which hath blased forth and eternised by their writings his gestes and worthy exploites Therfore hath Horace rightly said Naturā expellas furca tamen vsque recurrit If nature thou abandonest and dost vvith forke expell Nath'lesse it vvill returne againe As Horace doth thee tell And as the common prouerbe
